ABSTRACT:
A snow making system which includes a snow making device adapted to produce a spray of artificially manufactured snow from a combination of compressed air and water supplied under pressure to the device from remote compressed air and water supplies. A control system is provided at each snow making device which includes air and water valves that are operatively connected between the snow making device and respective supplies of compressed air and water for controlling the supply of air and water to the snow making device. The air and water valves are ganged together for simultaneously valving of the air and water supply and these valves are further adapted for draining water from the connected snow making device when the valves are in their off position. An air operated drive is connected for actuating the ganged valves simultaneously and is connected to the air supplied under pressure for maintaining the ganged valves on when the pressure of the supplied air is above a predetermined minimum. The ganged valves have a ganged lever operating mechanism which is weighted for turning off the ganged valves when predetermined minimum air pressure is attained. The air operated drive also self drains to remove moisture.
